A Cherry-Viewing Excursion by a Noble Lady and Attendants
A group of women in traditional Japanese clothing are depicted in a scene. The women are wearing kimonos in various colors including pink, orange, white, green, and black. Most have their hair styled in traditional Japanese fashion and secured with headpieces. They are arranged on either side of a black, two-wheeled vehicle with a covered compartment. The vehicle appears to be a type of traditional Japanese cart or carriage. Some women are standing while others are sitting on the ground. The background includes trees with blossoms and a building with a tiled roof. The sky is light yellow with some clouds. The image is rendered in a traditional Japanese woodblock printing style.
